"What are you still standing there for? While Lord Beerus is fast asleep, hurry up and use Instant Transmission to send him back to the World of the Destroyer! Don't let him keep wreaking havoc here in our Sacred World of the Kai!" Old Kai whispered urgently to the Supreme Kai.
"Ah... right, right! That's a great idea. As expected of the Ancestor, you've thought of everything!" The Supreme Kai's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew toward the branch where Beerus was resting, feeling inwardly relieved.
Thank goodness we can send Beerus away, or something terrible would happen sooner or later.
"By the way, there's one thing I forgot to tell you," Old Kai suddenly remembered and added from behind. "They say Lord Beerus is a restless sleeper and often hits people in his sleep. Be extremely careful—don't let him beat you to death on the spot."
The Supreme Kai's movements came to a sudden halt, and he pulled an emergency brake in mid-air, the smile on his face instantly freezing.
Ancestor, couldn't you have said that a little sooner?
You're only telling me now that Beerus is a restless sleeper? Are you trying to get me killed?
By this time, the Supreme Kai had already flown very close to Beerus, close enough to clearly hear his snoring.
The Supreme Kai shuddered. He was just about to turn and flee, but it was already too late.
Smack!
Beerus suddenly reached out and grabbed the Supreme Kai's arm, yanking him violently to his side. Then, with both hands swinging, he began to slap the Supreme Kai's face repeatedly.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
How could the Supreme Kai possibly withstand a beating from Beerus?
In just a few moments, he was beaten black and blue, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound.
The Supreme Kai was terrified that his voice might wake Beerus up, which would only lead to an even more brutal beating.
Thud!
Once Beerus had his fill of hitting, he gave a casual toss, throwing the Supreme Kai aside.
The Supreme Kai's body was like a rag doll, bouncing off the ground of the Sacred World of the Kai before crashing heavily onto the still-unconscious Broly.
"Ugh!"
The impact jolted Broly awake instantly. He leaped up from the ground, his eyes filled with fury as he searched everywhere for Beerus.
When he saw Beerus hanging upside down from a branch, fast asleep, Broly ground his teeth in rage. A dark green light instantly erupted from his body, with arcs of electricity flickering around him as he directly entered the Legendary Super Saiyan 2 form.
His powerful aura caused the surrounding air to distort.
Whoosh!
Broly didn't hesitate any longer. Like an arrow leaving a bow, he charged toward the branch where Beerus was. He reached out, slammed his hand onto Beerus's head, and then drove his body down toward the ground.
Boom!
Beerus's head made intimate contact with the ground of the Sacred World of the Kai, producing a massive explosion. A shallow crater was smashed into the earth, and dust filled the air.
Broly still didn't feel satisfied. He pressed Beerus's head into the ground and dragged it along with force, leaving a long furrow in the earth.
Next, Broly grabbed Beerus's tail and, like swinging a whip, began to slam his body back and forth, left and right. Every impact was accompanied by a dull thud.
Broly beat Beerus for a full ten minutes, until his arms began to feel a bit sore. Only then did he feel he had vented enough and let go of Beerus's tail.
As for Old Kai, the Supreme Kai, and Kibito, the three of them had long since vanished.
Terrified of being caught in the crossfire, they had used Instant Transmission to hide on a nearby planet, only daring to watch from a distance.
Broly clapped his hands and stepped forward to give Beerus's body two more kicks, wanting to see if he was still faking sleep.
However, to Broly's surprise, Beerus simply stretched, rolled over, and continued to snore away. It was as if the beating he had just received was nothing more than a light scratch to him.
Broly was dumbfounded, staring at Beerus in shock, unable to react for a long time.
How is this possible?
This guy Beerus... he seems to have grown stronger again!
He clearly hasn't been training, so why is he getting stronger for no reason?
In the past, when he transformed into Legendary Super Saiyan 2, he could at least go several rounds with a conscious Beerus. Even if he couldn't win, he could force Beerus to take him seriously.
But now, this guy was asleep, and Broly couldn't even break through his defense?
Broly's mouth twitched, his heart filled with frustration.
"Achoo!"
Suddenly, Beerus let out a loud sneeze. Two streaks of purple-red Destruction energy erupted from his nostrils like lasers, shooting toward Broly.
Broly was startled and quickly raised his hands, clasping them together to block the Destruction energy.
Bang!
Broly squeezed hard, and the Destruction energy instantly shattered into countless purple-red specks of light, dissipating in his palms without causing him any harm.
However, before Broly could breathe a sigh of relief, Beerus stretched again and casually raised a hand. A bolt of Destruction energy flew toward a distant warehouse.
That was where Broly kept his snacks!
Broly's eyes widened, and his expression grew even worse.
Even if the entire Sacred World of the Kai were destroyed, nothing could happen to his warehouse!
All his precious gourmet treasures were inside!
Broly chased after it without hesitation. At the very moment the Destruction energy was about to hit the warehouse, he kicked it high into the sky.
Pop!
The Destruction energy exploded in the high atmosphere, turning into a sky full of light specks that slowly drifted down.
The warehouse was finally safe.
Broly's teeth itched with hatred. He turned and rushed back, launching another fierce assault on the sleeping Beerus. His fists and feet fell on Beerus like rain.
Yet, no matter how hard Broly tried, Beerus continued to sleep soundly. He even smacked his lips as if he were having a wonderful dream, appearing to sleep even more peacefully.
What made Broly even more frustrated was that Beerus was indeed a restless sleeper. From time to time, he would fire off bursts of Destruction energy, forcing Broly to keep running back and forth to block them.
An hour later...
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Broly sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, the dark green light around him growing dim.
Almost all of his energy had been spent blocking the Destruction blasts; he truly had no strength left to move.
Fortunately, after an hour of releasing Destruction energy, Beerus finally entered a state of deep, true sleep. He stopped firing off random blasts, and his breathing became steady.
Broly finally let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he felt waves of exhaustion wash over him.
After resting for a moment, Broly didn't dare stay there any longer.
What if Beerus suddenly started firing off Destruction energy again?
Taking advantage of this time, Broly stood up and walked to the warehouse. He took a deep breath, grabbed the mountain where the warehouse was located with both hands, and pulled with all his might.
Rumble!
The entire mountain was uprooted by Broly, rising into the air along with the warehouse.
Holding the mountain, Broly flew away at his top speed, terrified of another accident.
Broly flew for over an hour until he was certain he was far from the center of the Sacred World of the Kai and that there was no danger nearby. Only then did he gently set the mountain down.
"It should be safe here." Broly clapped the dust off his hands and nodded with satisfaction, finally feeling at ease.
Snap!
Broly deactivated his Legendary Super Saiyan 2 form, returning to his base state, and prepared to find a place to rest.
"Ohohoho!"
However, at that moment, a piercing and familiar voice suddenly came from high above, carrying a hint of mockery.
Broly was stunned. He felt the voice was quite familiar and looked up toward the sky.
There, Frieza was hovering high in the air, looking down at him with his signature cold sneer.
"Ohohoho! Isn't this Broly? It's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here." Frieza hovered in the sky, his eyes full of amusement and his tone carrying a hint of teasing.
"Frieza? Why are you here?" Broly recognized him, his brow furrowing slightly as his heart filled with confusion.
Wasn't Frieza already dead?
How could he still appear here?
"You still remember me? I'm honored." Frieza's smile grew even more brilliant, his tone carrying a hint of pride. "I thought you would have forgotten me long ago."
"How did you get here? Ordinary people can't get in at all," Broly asked again, his eyes scanning the surroundings alertly. He didn't see any sign of the Supreme Kai.
It didn't feel like the Supreme Kai had sent Frieza here.
"What kind of place do you say this is? I, Frieza, go wherever I want. Why shouldn't I appear here?" Frieza was momentarily stunned and asked back curiously, clearly unaware of where he was.
"This is the Sacred World of the Kai," Broly answered in a flat tone.
"Oh? The Sacred World of the Kai?" Frieza rubbed his chin, a flash of curiosity in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Interesting... As for how I got here, I'm wondering that myself. I was in a strange space before, and after I came out, I just picked a direction and flew for a while until I saw this planet. I didn't expect it to be near the Sacred World of the Kai."
"I remember you were already dead, weren't you? Killed by Vegeta," Broly suddenly recalled, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Broly clearly remembered that the last time Frieza fought Vegeta, he was eventually killed by Vegeta's ultimate move.
And Broly also vaguely remembered...
Before Frieza went to Earth, he had specifically given instructions.
No matter what happened, Broly was told not to interfere.
Broly muttered to himself.
Wait, if you wanted to die back then, you should have just said so.
It would have been much better if I had just slapped you to death myself, rather than letting you be tortured by Vegeta.
"Ohohoho... I've been resurrected. Do you have a problem with that?" Frieza snorted coldly, narrowing his eyes at Broly with a hint of subtle provocation.
"No problem," Broly shook his head, finding Frieza's question a bit strange.
Whether you're resurrected or not, what does it have to do with me?
As long as you don't destroy my picnic mat or steal my snacks, I have no problem with you at all.
Wait... I seem to remember this guy killed my father before?
But then again, I killed his father too. We said we were even back then.
Since we're even, then forget it.
There's no need to dwell on it.
Broly shook his head, tossing aside the irrelevant thoughts, and vaguely remembered one more thing.
Earlier, Beerus seemed to have planned to take Frieza to participate in the Universe 6 tournament. For some reason, he later forgot about him. He hadn't expected to run into him here now.
"Broly, I haven't forgotten—you're the one who killed my father!" Frieza suddenly raised his voice, letting out a cold snort. Two veins bulged on his forehead, and a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes.
The revenge for my father's death?
How could I, Frieza, ever forget!
"But you killed my father too. Didn't we say we were even before?" Broly furrowed his brow, retorting in confusion. He didn't understand why Frieza was suddenly bringing up old scores.
"I saw it with my own eyes—you snapped my father's neck! He stopped breathing right then and there!" Frieza recalled the scene of his father's tragic death years ago, grinding his teeth in rage as his fists creaked.
Back then, I couldn't beat Broly, so I had to swallow my pride and say we were "even."
But things are different now.
My strength is nothing like it was before.
The debt for my father's death must be paid!
"So now we're not even anymore?" Broly tilted his head, still not grasping Frieza's logic.
"Of course not! How could the murder of my father just be brushed aside?" Frieza snorted coldly. A faint purple aura began to rise around him, clearly indicating he was ready for battle.
"Then what do you want to do?" Broly asked. His tone remained flat, as if he didn't care what Frieza did.
"What do I want to do?" Frieza's smile grew even more brilliant, yet his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I'm going to kill you, of course, to avenge my father!"
"Hmph. I remember beating you for over an hour back then. You were quite the punching bag; it left a pretty deep impression on me," Broly recalled their past fight and couldn't help but chuckle, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
Frieza's face instantly darkened. Having been poked in his sore spot, he flew into a rage on the spot. The purple aura around him surged violently. "You're asking for death!"
Snap!
A dazzling purple light erupted from Frieza's body. His aura geysered like a volcano, and the space around him began to distort.
In this moment, Frieza directly entered his Black Gold mode.
Broly was momentarily stunned when he saw this.
Frieza's aura seemed significantly stronger than before.
"Broly, don't say I, Frieza, am bullying you. Hurry up and transform—into your strongest Super Saiyan form!" Frieza snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain as if victory were already in his grasp.
"Hmph. Then I'll let you see my true power." Broly didn't hold back. A dense, dark green light instantly erupted from his body, with electrical arcs crackling around him and his muscles swelling slightly.
Broly directly entered his Legendary Super Saiyan form. His powerful aura caused the surrounding rubble to hover in the air.
"Oh? Still green?" Frieza smiled, completely unconcerned. He even gave Broly a provocative beckon. "Come on, Broly. Let me see if you've made any progress over these years!"
"I hope you don't regret this later!" Broly's eyes narrowed. He tapped his feet lightly on the ground, and his body shot into the air like an arrow leaving a bow. With a whistling wind, he roared toward Frieza, his fists clenched with immense power.
Watching the charging Broly, Frieza didn't panic at all. A cold sneer curled on his lips, and he dove down from the high sky, his speed so great he left a purple afterimage.
Broly was the first to throw a punch, aiming for Frieza's face.
However, Frieza was faster. He easily dodged the punch and, at the same time, landed a heavy blow on Broly's chest.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Broly let out a muffled groan, feeling a surge of intense pain in his chest as his body instantly lost its balance.
Immediately after, Frieza grabbed Broly's arm and used the momentum to drive his body down toward the earth below.
The two of them fell like a pair of meteors.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, Frieza slammed Broly into the ground of the Sacred World of the Kai. A huge, human-shaped crater was smashed into the earth, with dust filling the air and rubble flying everywhere.
"Pfft..."
Broly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body twitched in the crater, feeling as if his internal organs had been rearranged. He was in a bad way.
"What's the matter, Broly? Weren't you very arrogant before? Weren't you quite the fighter? Didn't you beat me for over an hour? Why can't you do it now?" Frieza grabbed Broly by the collar, hauled him out of the crater, and began to rain punches and kicks on his face. Every blow carried full force. "Everything you did to me back then, I'm paying you back twofold today!"
...
On a certain barren planet.
The Supreme Kai, Old Kai, and Kibito were temporarily hiding there to escape the disaster.
But they weren't idle.
Old Kai had specifically brought out a crystal ball to closely monitor the events on the Sacred World of the Kai.
They were truly worried that Beerus might lose control in his sleep and completely destroy the Sacred World of the Kai, which would leave them truly homeless.
Fortunately, Broly had been blocking Beerus's Destruction energy, which was equivalent to indirectly saving the entire realm.
The three of them watched the crystal ball and couldn't help but be moved to tears. Suddenly, they felt...
Having Broly stationed in the Sacred World of the Kai wasn't such a bad thing after all.
At least he could handle things in a crisis.
When the three of them saw that Beerus had entered a state of deep sleep, they were just about to discuss returning to the Sacred World of the Kai when they suddenly noticed Frieza's figure appearing in the crystal ball.
He had actually appeared in the Sacred World of the Kai!
Then, after Frieza and Broly exchanged a few words, the two sides began to fight.
When they first saw Frieza and Broly transform, the three of them didn't think much of Frieza at all.
The Supreme Kai even said with a smile, "Frieza is overestimating himself, isn't he? He's just looking for a beating. Broly is the Legendary Super Saiyan; how could Frieza possibly win?"
"Don't forget, Broly just fought Lord Beerus for so long. He's consumed a lot of energy, so his condition definitely isn't at its best right now." Old Kai sighed, his eyes fixed gravely on the crystal ball. He muttered again, "Besides, Frieza's current Black Gold form... it feels much stronger than before. It's definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface. Don't underestimate him."
"Even if Frieza has grown stronger, he still shouldn't be a match for Broly, right?" The Supreme Kai still didn't quite believe it and said with a smile, "Even if Broly is low on energy, dealing with Frieza should still be no problem."
However, in the next second, the Supreme Kai was slapped hard in the face.
In the crystal ball, Broly was being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by Frieza, with no way to fight back. The Supreme Kai watched, dumbfounded.
"It's okay, right? Broly hasn't even transformed into Legendary Super Saiyan 2 yet! He must be holding something back!" Kibito said hurriedly, trying to ease the embarrassment, though he was also sweating for Broly in his heart.
As they spoke, Broly in the crystal ball suddenly erupted with an even more powerful aura.
Crackle... crackle...
The dark green light on Broly's body grew even denser, with thick dark green lightning bolts wrapping around his body and crackling loudly. He was clearly preparing to enter a stronger form.
"Oh? You've learned to discharge electricity too? But what use is that?" Frieza smiled lightly, not taking it seriously at all. He landed a heavy punch on Broly's abdomen, sending him flying high into the sky.
Broly tumbled several times in the air before barely stabilizing his body. Fresh blood continued to seep from the corner of his mouth, and his face grew a few shades paler.
In the next moment, Broly's expression became distorted, and the aura on his body surged again. He was clearly getting completely serious.
"Broly, is this all you've got? I thought you were something special!" Frieza hovered high in the sky, laughing wildly. His smile grew even more brilliant, and his tone was full of mockery.
Broly didn't waste any more words. His eyes were filled with rage as he dove down toward Frieza again, his fists carrying the sound of breaking wind, their power even greater than before.
Frieza immediately took to the air, meeting him with a punch of his own.
Bang!
The two fists collided violently in mid-air. A massive surge of energy radiated from the point of impact, forming an invisible shockwave that blew away the surrounding clouds.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Broly's body was seen flying high like a broken kite, clearly sent reeling by the massive impact of Frieza's blow.
In terms of raw power, Broly had already fallen behind.
Flash!
Frieza's figure flickered several times, appearing directly above Broly like he was teleporting. He brought his feet together and kicked down hard on Broly's body.
Bang!
This overhead kick was full of force, striking Broly squarely in the back.
Broly fell from the high sky like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground of the Sacred World of the Kai.
Rumble!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out.
A deeper crater was smashed into the ground, and dust filled the air, almost completely obscuring the pit.
"Ohohoho!" Frieza's piercing laughter spread over the Sacred World of the Kai, filled with absolute triumph.
In front of the crystal ball, the Supreme Kai and Kibito were terrified, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.
They never expected Frieza to be powerful to this extent.
Even Broly was being beaten with no way to fight back!
"Are you two still standing there in a daze?" Old Kai shouted at them urgently. "Hurry up and get Goku! Bring him to the Sacred World of the Kai! Any later, and something might really happen to Broly!"
"Ah... right! I'm going now!" The Supreme Kai snapped out of it. Without hesitation, he immediately activated Instant Transmission and headed toward Earth.
...
On Earth, in the courtyard of the Capsule Corporation headquarters.
Bardock was sitting on a stone bench, telling Son Goku all about the battle between Broly and Jiren.
"That guy named Jiren isn't really anything special. He was no match for Broly at all and was suppressed quite badly," Bardock said to Son Goku with a smile, a hint of pride in his eyes.
After all, Broly was also a Saiyan.
"Is that so? I thought the strongest human in Universe 11 would be really powerful. It turns out he couldn't even beat Broly," Son Goku scratched his head, a hint of disappointment on his face.
Originally, Son Goku had wanted to have a chance to test his skills against Jiren.
Now it seemed there was no need.
